Islam-Preaching Fisher-Price Doll Freaks Out Texas Mom

by Kaiser Hwang on October 23, 2008 at 02:02 PM


Kids say the darndest things sometimes -- real or plastic. Just take Fisher-Price's twenty-dollar Cuddle & Coo doll, for instance. As seen in the linked video, one Texas mother's Cuddle & Coo doll clearly says, "Islam is the light!" in a creepy uplifting voice, no less. Now, as Colin Powell reminded us last Sunday, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a follower of Islam (or any religion, mind you), but you can bet a number of mothers and fathers out there don't want the toys they buy their children swaying their religious beliefs.

This is just the latest in a slew of freaked-out-parent incidents this month regarding the Cuddle & Coo doll, which is why Fisher-Price's parent company, the Mattel Company, has issued a statement saying that the toy speaks only "baby babble," and that it's possible the sound is being distorted through faulty speakers. While that could very well be the case, once you hear it, you can never unhear it. Check the video yourself and let us know what you think. [From: News Channel 5]
